[Nagiosplug-devel] munin active check plugins?

[VEGH Karoly]

Hi. 

I am trying to clean up our Nagios-based monitoring policy.

I was wondering, that hey, munin is a nice tool to do the graphs,
really. But it can alarm only through passive checks:

My questions is: is it exaggeration to want to keep the monitoring
policy active-check-only? If not, any chance that in the near future 
there will be nagiosplugins with active checks for munin? somehow like
this (munin-node runs on port 4949)
